Send us Fan Mail Have you ever gone through communion so many times that it starts to feel routine? This week we go back to where communion actually began — the Passover — to rediscover what we might be missing. In Exodus 12, God gives Israel a 5-step pattern for the Passover: choose an unblemished lamb, sacrifice the lamb, apply the blood, eat the flesh, and remember. Every single step points…
Send us Fan Mail Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord? Who may stand in His holy place? Only the one with clean hands and a pure heart (Psalm 24:3-4). In this message, we ask a deeper question than "Do I worship God?" — we ask, WHAT are we really worshipping? Because if we don't worship God, we will worship something else. An idol isn't a statue — it's anything we cannot put on the altar:…
Send us Fan Mail To ascend to God, you must first desire Him. But what does that desire actually look like in your daily life? Are you living in indifference toward God’s presence, or are you completely dependent on it? In Part 2 of our "Ascend" series, we dive deep into what it takes to experience the manifested glory—the Kabod—of God. Looking at Elijah in 1 Kings 19, Moses in Exodus 33, and the…
Send us Fan Mail Are we tolerating sins today that God’s Word explicitly warns us against? In Part 1 of our "Ascend" series, Pastor Josh addresses 20 modern-day sins and cultural compromises that keep us from standing in God's holy presence. From doomscrolling, consumerism, and astrology to unforgiveness, gossip, and political idolatry. Drawing from Psalm 24:3–4, 1 Corinthians 6, Galatians 5, and…
Send us Fan Mail When we wander, Jesus doesn’t count us as a loss. He comes after us. In this message from our Power in the Parables series, we dive deep into Luke 15:1–7 and the story of the Lost Sheep. We unpack the true Biblical meaning of the word Apollumi (lost, ruined, separated from purpose) and discover why Jesus relentlessly pursues you no matter how far you’ve strayed. Whether you feel…
Send us Fan Mail What type of soil is your heart? In this message from Matthew 13:3–9 & 13–17, we examine Jesus’ Parable of the Sower and the four distinct conditions of the human heart: 1. The Path (The Hard Heart) – Exposed and easily stolen from. 2. The Rocky Soil (The Shallow Heart) – Quick to sprout, but lacking deep roots and total surrender. 3. The Thorny Soil (The Compromised Heart) – Good…
Send us Fan Mail Are you multiplying what God has entrusted to you, or are you letting fear hold you back? In this powerful message, we dive deep into Jesus' Parable of the Talents to discover what true Biblical stewardship looks like. In Matthew 25:14-30, Jesus shares a profound truth about how God views our time, gifts, and resources. Whether you feel like you've been given "five bags of gold,"…
Send us Fan Mail One of the most misunderstood parables in the Bible is the story of the Shrewd Manager (also known as the Unjust Steward). In Luke 16, Jesus highlights a clever manager who strategically uses worldly wealth to secure his future. While Jesus isn't commending his dishonesty, He is challenging the "children of light" to be just as intentional with eternal riches as the world is with…
Send us Fan Mail How do we hear the voice of God in a world full of noise? In Part 2 of our series, "The Power In The Parables," we explore how Jesus used stories to challenge us to slow down, reflect, and truly listen to what the Holy Spirit is saying. It’s not just about what we are building in our lives, but what we are building upon. True spiritual transformation happens when we shift from…
Send us Fan Mail The parable of the Prodigal Son is one of the most famous stories Jesus ever told, but it’s often misunderstood. It’s not just a story about a rebellious son and a forgiving father; it’s a mirror for our own hearts. Whether you identify with the prodigal son who ran away or the older brother who stayed but wrestled with bitterness, this sermon will challenge your perspective on…
Send us Fan Mail Are you tired of just sitting in a row? In Part 6 of our "I Love My Church" series, Freedom Church Raleigh explores what it truly means to be the hands and feet of Jesus. Pulling from 1 Corinthians 12, Romans 12, and the miracle of Jesus turning water into wine, this sermon uncovers a powerful truth: Jesus is the source, but we are the system. When we serve, we aren't just doing…
